  This pours medium ruby with some flecks of purple. The nose is expressive showing mulberry, lightly candied raspberry, blueberry, purple flowers, and shrubby herbs. The palate is somewhat thin abd woody, replaying the mixed berry fruit which is just a tad sour and bitter. Good but I didn’t immediately recognize it as burgundy. The profile isn’t right in my wheelhouse today, just a tad reductive, but I could see some improvement with age.

  Medium bodied, firm, with good fruit. A nice tannic finish that built over time in the glass. I really liked this. Drinking well now, but has lots of distance to go, I think.

  Appearance: medium ruby.
  Nose: medium plus intensity; sour cherry, game, orange peel, red date, a little chicken soup note, toast. It’s developing.
  Palate: dry, high acidity, medium plus tannins, medium alcohol, medium plus body, medium plus flavour intensity, a little greeness, medicinal and bitterness on the palate, medium plus finish.
  Overall, it’s a very good wine. Can drink now, has potential for further ageing. Need some decanting.

  I gave this an hour of air. Two might have been better. Lovely, minerally wine with a fresh, fruity nose and some firm tannin on the finish.

  Appearance: pale, garnet.
  Nose: medium plus intensity; aromas of sour cherry, raspberry, leather, barnyard, black tea, umami/mushroom, toast. It's developing.
  Palate: dry, high acidity, medium plus tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, medium plus flavour intensity. The finish is medium plus.
  Overall, it's a very good wine. Can drink now, and has potential for further ageing.
  The wine is quite closed on Day 1, but becomes significantly better on the nose on Day 2. A lot of lovely tertiary aromas (for someone) come through such as leather, mushroom, black tea, yet still with primary fruit notes. The tannins structure and high acidity would guarantee further ageing capability, although it's not the best vintage of Burgundy. The thing that holds it back is that the flavour intensity is not as impressive as it's on the nose (less well defined), but overall it's still a balanced, complex good quality Burgundy. After all, what more can you ask at this pricing point given the rocketing/crazy pricing of Burgundy nowadays?
